Artist Website Tip #6 – Make Your Website Appeal to Arts Professionals

Submitted by Daniel on September 2, 2005 – 10:33 amNo Comment
Here are some common elements which most dealers and galleries would agree on for your website design:

  • Keep the site simple and elegant with the focus on the art itself
  • Don’t overpower the art with a site that looks too busy
  • Avoid advertising such as banner adds or sidebar adds. If you must have them, put them in a separate “resource” section
  • Avoid complex effects like flash movies. In the time it takes to play your exotic entry page, your visitor may have moved on.
  • Include your bio, artist statement, resume, contact information, gallery(s) of your work, contact information, and a pricelist.
